Jim Goad

[elscorcho19]

i love all the people coming hear to bitch about jim goad like he will read this and give a fuck. he does not care what people have to say about him and that's why hes the man

[0rbis2010]

Jim Goad's a whimp, still crying about his mother, the nuns and Christianity endlessly. Classic white trash.

[IHeartZui]

Good show happened to catch this one. In the both left of center

[NickDiPerna]

The master craftsman sings too!

[atlasperros]

curiosity ill the cat....i fucking threw away those answer me books...to graphic and the topics were fucking crazy.....

[PatCheSDeVile]

Briliant!!! From Written Word to Western Musick, Jim Goad has Never Failed me Yet....

[Mustafapen]

I'll agree with the last part. No one gives a shit about feminists anymore, especially since half of them can't define their own movement.

I've read some of Paglia, and I've remained unimpressed, especially with her worshipful stance on Madonna. I agree with the sex-positive types that prostitution should be legal, but that's it.

I'm no here to speak for Goad, but his appropriation of misogyny falls more on the lines of anti-gynocentrism than anything else.

[Monigan]

Yup...beating the shit out of a woman teks real cajones.

[Mustafapen]

I was referring to Answer Me! #4, which challenged feminist notions of rape culture. They didn't like it, and people distributing it under went an obscenity trial in Portland.

[Hallation]

He's not challenging feminist notions. From 'Let's Hear it for Violence Toward Women': "But were not arguing with the feminists, were competing against them. We agree with the fem-nuts that the penis is the instrument of their oppression, subjugation, humiliation, and enslavement. Thats a given. Problems only arise in proportion to your resistance to this niggling little fact. Its a simple struggle: men versus women. But nature has given our side a tremendous advantage—nature made us men."

[Mustafapen]

You CLEARLY haven't read "It's a Rape Rape Rape Rape Rape Rape World."

"Let's Hear It for Violence Against Women" was written as a shocking joke. Essentially, well written flamebait, which ALL the Feminists took, completely ignoring the points established in "It's a Rape...World."

By taking what he wrote in "Let's Hear It" and ignoring "Fucking Andrea Dworkin" by Adam Parfrey and Goad's "It's a Rape...World," you've completely missed the point of Answer Me! #4

[Hallation]

Violence cant decide if it wants to be sincere or satirical; its trolling interspersed with things Jim obviously believes. Goad himself seems similarly noncommittal; he allies himself w/ real misogynists like Sotos, but still wants a nice wife/fambly. Ive read Rape; its rehashed Paglia but far less interesting. Thats the problem with criticizing feminists; well before Goad feminism had been so deconstructed & the movement so fragmented that the word is essentially meaningless.

[filterguy2525]

The man's a legend

[FractalBolt]

Who would have thought that this wife beater could sing like that! Gotta love Jim Goad!

[jeffnalabama]

Well, "youtube" has been censoring my comments lately, because they're not politically correct. Okay, so here it is, while I'm getting away with it. This guy is a yankee wimp. He calls himself a "redneck". Must be fun...as long as you don't really have to live down South and walk the walk. This guy put a girl in his car once and beat her senseless and did some time for it. It's weird; half of you dorks would really despise him if he was from Tennessee....

[sab666]

No he lives in Georgia(God knows why).

[Mustafapen]

(facepalm)

Anne Sky-Ryan asked for it. Plain and simple.

[jeffnalabama]

test

[fr3thinker]

This is something very American. That is why he has a big following I speculate because he exudes this historic America - plus he has the look they go for and wears the kind of clothes they like.

[monkieluvr26]

they are my cousins. i love carolyn. [jims sister] she is so nice.

[Dresidi]

What the fuck is so special about him? Why do so many people rimjob him?

[Mustafapen]

Uh, for one, Goad has a wit not like many others. Two, he talks about the things most of us are afraid to bring up (that is, in open and not hiding behind our computer monitors). And three, he takes the the liberals to task with anger and grace.

So yes, no matter how much you like or hate him, there's truly no other writer like Mr. Goad.

[DrakeTimbershaft]

Fucking Hell! Is there nothing this man can't do?  Is his golden throat and muscular ass from KRYPTON?

[catsbyann]

He actually has a beautiful voice. Singer, writer and pug lover-Goad's a triple threat!

[castingtherunes]

Jim has a good voice. Answer Me is hysterical. He imparts a lot of knowledge and informed opinions. While I don't always see things his way, I've always been thrilled by his writing. Favorite article from Debbie Goad: I hate being a Jew. Favorite article from Jim: The Underground is a Lie. Check 'em out!

[Mustafapen]

"The Homeless Can Eat Shit" was pretty funny, too. Pity that most of Debbie's articles were ghostwritten by Jim.

From Jim, I really liked "Twelves Steps to Hell," "24 Hours on Sunset Blvd," and all of his work in The Rape Issue.

Goad bravely challenged the feminist masses and succeeded.

[castingtherunes]

Good for Goad, but he is running out of targets and ideas. He spins his wheels in Shit Magnet, even though there are some good passages in there. These days, he shocks for shock's sake, especially when it comes to racism, sexism, and any other ism you can think of. I'll say that the one other good thing about Answer Me is that it turned me on to more provocative authors in the Feral House catalog.

[monkeys37]

LMAO. There are people that are still shocked when someone dares to question the patently absurd notion of "racism"? Goad speaks the truth on race; if you're shocked it's because you're a lemming.

[DeathMetalDouglas68]

He's usually backed up with fact and most people that are offended let their emotions get the better of them. Most do not want to own up to the fact that deep down inside they feel the same way.

[Indigoinvader111]

Before all you ignorant self-rightous liberals slander this guy, who can sing quite well, try reading some of his well-written, well thought out, logical and thought provoking pieces. Or is that you have already, and he still pisses you off?

[havidgekoochek]

When I want to get rid of roommates, I leave my copies of Answer Me! hanging around. I'm so full of hate, you're mom never could of thought of warning you about something so vile. R.I.P. Debby

[coralarch]

Not vile- satirical and funny. Well-written, too.

[havidgekoochek]

I'm with you, Jim and Debbie poured Their hate on everything without discrimination, They were fair.

[coralarch]

Democratic in hating everyone, yes, indeed, but their hatred had nothing on that possessed by my mother-in-law. Wheee-ew! And the old hag wasn't even funny! Just pure malice. Compared to her, the Goads were pussy cats.

[sakamoko99]

Jim goad has a huge Penis. he's hot.

[teonapics]

In spain too, Jim.

[sakamoko99]

Jim goad is my friend and i love him! hes amazing, extremely brilliant and not a fucking hypocrite~! leave him alone you jealous fuckers! he rules!

[blueshirttail]

I loved Answer Me! and was really surprised to hear how well Jim actually sings.  My favorite song from his record is "I Got Lost". I think Tom Hall wrote the song. Good stuff.

Thanks for uploading the video. First time I've seen Jim perform.

[jozzmer]

hes a pussy who claimed he was a VICTIM of domestic violence. whiny pussy. whaddya expect when you date a stripper for fucks sake.

[scottyphx]

What I like most about JG is that most folks either really like him or really hate him. The ones that like him are usually pretty cool, the ones that hate him are usually absolute retards. The mind boggles.

[jozzmer]

i dont hate him. i just think claiming to be a "beaten wife" was pure bullshit. which was supposed to be his big thing. then he plays it up. just another hack trying to sound hard

[1newg]

@jozzmer Is it wrong to date a stripper?

[hjames223]

Jim rocks. I've read a few of his articles in apocalypse culture and I definitely need to read his other work.

[hookersandblow]

Hail!! This man you speak of.

[gbrycki]

Huge fan of his writing. I miss Answer Me!

[meatierwhore]

Who knew this guy could sing? I'm impressed. Love his writing too.

[gabrielharter]

my favorite writer of all time!

[pekoe67]

Great George Jones song.

[Polyphemus]

Key-riced! The guy is actually good!

[getxADICTedx]

riiight..JIM GOAD is the biggest idiot alive.

[Toestubber]

Sayin' it don't make it so. But that's quite a lovely ad hominem... doucheface.

[scottyphx]

Say what you like. But, Mr. James Thaddeus Goad has accomplished more with his life than you haters have :).

[svat6969]

@scottyphx yeah i hope to one day be able to go to jail for beating my wife and then run a succesful zine about things that are just unfunny shock humor. dream life right there.
